Hills?

I hope one of the first habitats could be planted with Giant Sequoia
trees. Since they take a long time to grow, they should be started
early. :)

Their roots only go about 6' down, but this website says they weight
2.7 million pounds each.

A habitat might have to be built for 30 to 40 psi for this.
